We know from our digital traffic that many people have found our pre-election coverage on floridatoday.com useful in navigating through the noise of the campaign season.

Among the most-read content of any type on our digital sites this entire year has been our explanations about the 12 proposed Florida constitutional amendments, as well as all things related to this critically important midterm election.

That is terrific news. Helping prepare voters by providing information on issues and candidates is extremely rewarding as a journalist.

Because we don’t think it is our job to tell voters who to vote for, we did not endorse candidates this year. But we worked hard to tell stories to help voters know the issues and the facts about candidates, so voters can make up their own minds.

Honestly, it made me smile to see so many fellow citizens lined up to vote at Wickham Park Community Center on the first day of early voting. A shout-out to Supervisor of Elections Lori Scott and all the poll workers for making it so easy and fun. Scott, speaking on the Bill Mick Live radio show on Friday said 32.3 percent of eligible Brevard voters - or 136,589 of potentially 422,606 people - had already voted.

To those of you among that group, thank you for strengthening our democracy and for helping to make our community a better place.

If you are still planning to vote, thank you, too. We urge you to check floridatoday.com, where you will find articles, videos and columns to help you get to know candidates in the local races for county commission, school board, state legislature and Congress and those 12 proposed amendments on the ballot.

We also want you to know how we will cover and report on the outcome of the election, what you can expect from us and what not to expect.

On Tuesday night and Wednesday, floridatoday.com will be your best source for detailed results of the election – local, state and national.

Brevard decides! For the 2018 general election, early voting is from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. weekdays and 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekends of Oct. 27-Nov. 3. Election Day is from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Nov. 6. Here are the candidates in Brevard County and the statewide races. narvikk, Getty Images/iStockphoto

Because of early production deadlines and because we’ll be taking time to analyze and to report deeply on the implications of the election, Wednesday’s printed newspaper may not include comprehensive voting results. I want you to know that upfront.

But please expect a full report, including expert sources and look-ahead analysis, in printed editions Thursday and through the weekend.

• An automated results database that will provide key statewide and local results, including races for federal offices.

• A live local election show featuring our Engagement & Public Affairs Editor Isadora Rangel, Eastern Florida State College political science Professor Chris Muro, and local politicos Kathryn Rudloff, Kendall Moore, Matt Nye and Amy Tidd. It will be broadcast on WEFS (Spectrum channel 9 or 455 and DirecTV channel 68) and live streamed on floridatoday.com starting at 7 p.m.

• Articles, photos and videos from key races, including the closely watched gubernatorial and U.S. Senate and District 8 Congressional contests, the Brevard County Commission, Brevard School Board, state Senate District 14, state House Districts 50, 51, 52, 53 as well as other local races.

On Wednesday morning, you can expect additional stories and analysis on floridatoday.com of what happened and what changes, if any, the results might bring.

And something completely new: We’ll post a special 2018 Election podcast on which our journalists will analyze the results of statewide and local races. It will be on floridatoday.com and other podcast sites and available for you to download and listen to while you drive, in the waiting room at the doctor’s office, the parent drop-off line at school or wherever your busy day takes you.

Also, you should know that as a public service to our communities, we’ve made the decision to lift the meter on floridatoday.com from 12:01 a.m. Tuesday until 12:01 a.m. Thursday. What this means is all this great content is free and access is unlimited during those 48 hours.

We’ll also use our Facebook, Twitter and other social media sites to help keep you informed.

We’ll use digital, live streaming and social media to report results, while print will be our go-to platform to in-depth analysis, context and enterprise reporting after the election results are in.

Across all platforms, FLORIDA TODAY will have the deepest and most comprehensive local election coverage available.

But that coverage isn’t just about who won or what initiative passed. It's more about what it means to you, our community and our state.

That’s our pledge to you and our obligation to our communities.

Happy voting!
